2025-11-06meson: make GIT_HTML_PATH configurableD. Ben Knoble
Makefile-based builds can configure Git's internal HTML_PATH by defining htmldir, which is useful for packagers that put documentation in different locations. Gentoo, for example, uses version-suffixed directories like ${prefix}/share/doc/git-2.51 and puts the HTML documentation in an 'html' subdirectory of the same. Propagate the same configuration knob to Meson-based builds so that "git --html-path" on such systems can be configured to output the correct directory. Signed-off-by: D.

2025-10-16doc: add large-object-promisors.adoc to the docs buildRamsay Jones
Commit 5040f9f164 ("doc: add technical design doc for large object promisors", 2025-02-18) added the large object promisors document as a technical document (with a '.txt' extension). The merge commit 2c6fd30198 ("Merge branch 'cc/lop-remote'", 2025-03-05) seems to have renamed the file with an '.adoc' extension. Despite the '.adoc' extension, this document was not being formatted by asciidoc(tor) as part of the docs build. In order to do so, add the document to the make and meson build files. Having added the document to the build, asciidoc and asciidoctor find (slightly different) problems with the syntax of the input document. The first set of warnings (only issued by asciidoc) relate to some 'section title out of sequence: expected level 3, got level 4'. This document uses 'setext' style of section headers, using a series of underline characters, where the character used denotes the level of the title. From document title to level 5 (see [1]), these characters are =, -, ~, ^, +. This does not seem to fit the error message, which implies that those characters denote levels 0 -> 4. Replacing the headings underlined with '+' by the '^' character eliminates these warnings. The second set of warnings (only issued by asciidoctor) relate to some headings which seem to use both arabic and roman numerals as part of a single 'list' sequence. This elicited either 'unterminated listing block' or (for example) 'list item index: expected I, got II' warnings. In order not to mix arabic and roman numerals, remove the numeral from the '0) Non goals' heading. Similarly, the remaining roman numeral entries had the ')' removed and turned into regular headings with I, II, III ... at the beginning.

2025-09-11meson: introduce a "docs" alias to compile documentation onlyPatrick Steinhardt
Meson does not currently provide a target to compile documentation, only. Instead, users needs to compile the whole project, which may be way more than they really intend to do. Introduce a new "docs" alias to plug this gap. This alias can be invoked e.g. with `meson compile docs`.

2025-03-03meson: fix building technical and howto docsPhillip Wood
When our asciidoc files were renamed from "*.txt" to "*.adoc" in 1f010d6bdf7 (doc: use .adoc extension for AsciiDoc files, 2025-01-20) the "meson.build" file in "Documentation" was updated but the "meson.build" files in the "technical" and "howto" subdirectories were not. This causes the meson build to fail when configured with -Ddocs=html. Fix this by updating the relevant "meson.build" files.

2025-01-14meson: fix missing deps for technical articlesSam James
We need an explicit `depends: documentation_deps` so that all of our Documentation targets know they require asciidoc.conf. This shows up as parallel build failures with it not yet being available. Other targets look OK already. Signed-off-by: Sam James <sam@gentoo.org> Acked-by: Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

While the Meson build system already knows to generate man pages and our user manual, it does not yet generate the random assortment of articles that we have. Plug this gap. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
